Main Street THE SLANTED SANDPOINT STREET

brought to you by

THE BONNER COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY & MUSEUM

In most cities, the streets run perpendicular to each other, cutting perfect squares to contain homes and businesses. The city of Sandpoint is an exception, with its historical Main Street running at a rebellious northwest angle. This street cuts through the north side of town, leaving random triangular patches and interrupting traditional blocks of property.

Though awkward today, this street was once a direct connection between downtown and the Great Northern Railroad depot. A pioneering couple by the name of Ella Mae and L.D. Farmin was on the committee that plotted the town’s streets, and they also happened to work for the Great Northern Railroad.

The town site of Sandpoint was laid out in 1892 and incorporated in 1900. The Great Northern Railroad depot was the heart of Sandpoint at the time; therefore, this street was the main vein making a direct connection between the depot and the aspiring central hub of downtown. The land was raw and there were no rules.

Plan Ahead For Care

SURGERY, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, CAN BE SCARY. Often patients and families spend hours finding the right surgeon but neglect the post-operative recovery phase.

I didn’t know what I was missing! I’ve had surgery a handful of times and felt like I knew the ropes, so to speak, but Kelli brought a level of expertise and care I didn’t realize I needed. I wish I had her with me all those years ago, I may have avoided unnecessary pain and trips to the doctor. She is an absolute gift!
